Not sure how many of these I will get done, but my mission is to make some lapghans using my yarn stash/leftover yarns. This one uses yarn I bought around a yr. ago just because I loved other green and blue afghans I had seen…and wanted to make one too. No pattern needed for this one. Just rows of dc, and then a sc border. Usually when I do stripes, I keep all the stripes the same width. This time I just made random stripes, and I really like how it turned out. Working on lapghan #2 right now, and hope to be able to post it in a week or two. Btw, in case you’re wondering why I am doing lapghans instead of full size afghans. There is a simple answer for that. LOL Truth is I get bored and impatient making larger afghans, but I find I enjoy the process of making the smaller lapghans.
As always, I thank you for checking out my little corner of blog land, and I appreciate your comments. I tend to respond to them in a reply to the comment left on the blog. :)
Very pretty Rita.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gloria! :)
DeleteNice colors! The random striping looks good too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deni! I was happy with the random striping, too. First time I ever did that. LOL
DeleteI like it - it looks very nice. The blues and greens look great together. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debi! I love the blues and greens together. :) I've seen lots of afghans online with that color combo, and really wanted to make one. :)
DeleteVery pretty! The colors make me think of Spring :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kara! :)
DeleteIt's very pretty and the colors blend together very well ! :) I too feel like making an afghan but the immense task of joining motifs looks very intimidating and also the place where I stay doesn't need woollen blankets, so there is no motivation either.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the difference between a lapghan and baby blanket?
Thanks, Preeti. :) There probably isn't much difference between a baby afghan and a lapghan, other than I think this yarn used is a bit heavy for a baby afghan.
DeleteI love the colors in this lapghan. Blue and green together have always been my favorite. Can you tell me the finished size.

Thanks, Linda. :) It's approx. 30"x34".
DeleteBeautiful, Rita!! I also like this color combination, it reminds me of the sea. Lapghans really have a nice size, I love putting one over my legs when sitting snugly in my armchair in the evening ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) Glad you like the color combo. My husband didn't like it, but I think it's so pretty. :)
DeleteSo Pretty! Love those colors.
